Briaroaks Fire Department

Make A Donation

The operating budget covers the bare minimum of what it costs to run a professional, efficient fire department and rescue squad.  Our members do not receive any financial reimbursement for the time they donate for training, equipment and truck maintenance or responding to emergency calls.  All of the operating budget is spent on the basics to run the department, such as fuel costs, electric and phone costs, equipment maintenance, personal protective equipment etc. Briaroaks Fire Department is a 501(c)(3) organization, which means your donations are tax deductible. We will send you a thank you with the deduction information for all donations.

Carbon Monoxide Is the Silent Killer
Carbon monoxide (CO) is colorless and odorless, making it impossible to detect without an alarm. Install CO detectors on every level of your home and near sleeping areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include headache, dizziness, and nausea. If your CO alarm sounds, get everyone outside immediately and call 911.
A Small Fire Doubles in Size Every 30 Seconds
Fire grows exponentially. What starts as a small flame on a wastebasket can engulf an entire room in under five minutes. This is why early detection and fast evacuation are so critical — by the time you see heavy smoke, you may only have seconds to get out.
